Episode notes

michael paulin has been a critic of g m o since 19 98. He says the way they were tested at the beginning was really slipshod. They've led to great consolidation in the seed industry, which i think is really unfortunate. No big problems that i'm aware of have emerged. Thereare real questions about glyphosite though.

Michael Pollan has long been fascinated by nature and the ways we connect and clash with it, with decades of writing covering food, farming, cooking, and architecture. Pollan's latest fascination? Our widespread and ancient desire to use nature to change our consciousness.

He joins Tyler to discuss his research and experience with psychedelics, including what kinds of people most benefit from them, what it can teach us about profundity, how it can change your personality and political views, the importance of culture in shaping the experience, the proper way to integrate it into mainstream practice, and - most importantly of all - whether it's any fun.
